Hi Steve. Love your videos. I was only 8 yrs old when I migrated to Australia in 1956. I have not been back for many reasons, including health issues. Seeing your videos is the next best thing to actually going there. I was born in Kirkop. I hope one day you will do a video on my home town which I vaguely remember.

Hi Stephen, Thanks for the compliment, yes i like making festa videos this one not so much banda , which i love, but the last part in the square with the singers was very nice !!

Hi Steve, I love when you do these feast videos. Please if you remember do the feast of Marsaxlokk next year. Watching this show I noticed the street food venders where selling more then just Qubbajt ( Nougut ) I remember also getting hot Peanuts in a cone made of paper :) and people would give out drinks (alcohol) to my father from their homes. Are you going to do the feast of Santa Maria in Gozo ? I went one year and it was fantastic. it took us nearly all day just to get on the ferry to Gozo.

[@EnglishmaninMalta]

Hey ..Thanks for the comments Charlie, street food !!, I traveled a lot and have been to other feasts in different countries where they have lots of Traditional dish's on sale... ..I always wonder why Malta does not push they local food.would think a great opportunity to offer Maltese street food, but the place is packed with Berger and chips vans . one of vender once told me junk food is faster and more profit, festa tal Marsaxlokk is this week. and i am working all over the weekend so going to miss it again :-( ..... long time since i went to Gozo....just the time factor juggling work as well, not easy....roll on retirement .....................

yes love it too.was thinking of doing a vlog....but always the copy-write police looking over our shoulder !!

[@ToonLeighporpeangfarmThailand]

Yes from all accounts the copy-write police are quite hot on it. We are lucky that we have a talented musician as a great friend who lets us use his tracks. Cheers Leigh.
